Description

Dumbo (RKO, 1941). Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14").
Walt Disney's previous two films--Pinocchio and
Fantasia--had been, amazingly enough, financial failures.
Disney made his animators work under strict budgetary constraints,
with a tight script and simplified production values. The plan,
along with a delightful story, combined to create a big hit for the
studio. It was such a big success that Time magazine was
going to have Dumbo on the cover of its December, 1941 issue, but
the attack on Pearl Harbor bumped the baby elephant. Complete sets
for this Disney classic are rare at best and this is the first set
we have ever sold, making this a terrific opportunity for animation
fans. The cards show pinholes in the corners, and unobtrusive
smudges. The title card has a splice in the upper left corner, two
cards have paper tape on the verso, and two cards have strips of
toning. Very Fine-.
